Abstract
The purpose of this communication is to provide an atomistic view, via molecular
dynamic simulation, of the contrasting interfacial behavior between high temperature
dry- and (10-40 vol%) wet-air in contact with stainless steels as represented by Fe20Cr.
It was found that H2O preferentially adsorbs and displaces oxygen at the metal/fluid
interface. Comparison of these findings with experimental studies reported in the
literature is discussed.
Keywords: Fe-Cr alloys, metal-fluid interfacial behavior, wet-air, molecular simulation
